Representatives of the professional, propertied,learned and leisurely classes havehr en hoard from. But there aro othersorts of citizens, representing a lerger part of thc nation, who mightgive Interesting testimony.Why doesn't the judiciary committee ! minnon some of tho New Yorkand Boston factory girls whose lothas been mnde easier through Mr.Brandeis's efforts? Why doesn't itsummon some of the laboring men invarious sections of the country whoowe shorter hours, better workingconditions und higher efficiency toMr. Brandeis's championship? Whydoesn't it summon some of the minority stockholders in thc corporationswhoso erou.ed munugement Mr. Brandeis has exposed? Why doesn't it'summon some of tho small business menwho have been represented by Mr.Brandeis in resisting crushing monopoly? Why doesn't it summon leaders of reform movemento and champions of social justice and let themtell of tho work done by Mr. Brandeis in many good causes, withoutcompensation and at his own expense?I Surely lt is only fair to admit g*oodreport-ns well nu evil.when a, man'sreputation is at stake. Perhaps, too,the various classes of citizens mentioned have a right to be, heard.LINE O'DOPEWeather Forecast-Fair und coolerW>nineaday; Tthtrudnv fuir.This particular scribe WUB neververy fond of ghost stories; in fact,ho never care;, to listen to .them, muchloss to toll them to others. However, one certain ghost story hasbosrr'repeatedly told to him within thepast few days and his curiosity husbcon aroused to such an extent thathe has decided to publish it as it basboen related to him. Juut who orwhat the "ghost" or "spirit" ls, hodivs noi a tem pt to bay; neither doeshu vouch for tho veracity.- or We accurateness of what lu to bo related.As stated before he baa no special liking for ghost stories, much less seeing,or hearing tho ghosts themselves. Thefollowing is tho story as lt has beentold to tho Line 'O. Dope man, namesbeing omitted:. ?.Down in the lower part ot tho county between Starr and Iva there livesa. well known family whose homeis -now. the center of attraction formiles af iund. Sure the house IB haunted, for people are flocking thore^ every night hy tho- score, tb hear thespirit speak and to try and solve thedeep mystery.'It started Ulla woy. -, For the pastlix months sounds as if soraeon?knacking on the'wall have been heard.Fer a Unie lt was'thought these soundswc re 'caused by flying squirrels whohad made their dene in the walla.However^ tearing the coiling from thewails did not. solve the mystery. One.Irjtoa^afio loot night, there caine fromtho direction of tho door, a sound ofVriocklng,and a Uti o girl 14 years ofage. hearing the,noise, end thinkinglt. was soma of tho neigh bora whohad come'over for n friendly chat?' fife*vited the supposed porson io. ''' Theknocking continued, but no one cam?lp. Finally the Rtle girl opefaed thodoor, .hut not a soul could bo seenor heard. Sh o asked who {t was dolog, the -knocking and ? Vole? re-?pited: i"; "I am from Georgia." .Investigations did : not lead to tholocation;>Of.<:'?tiy^e.^The little girlasked the seeming spirit'what it wanted, and thus a conversation started.\ThS title girl asked numerous qn?stiona, and each time received un Intelligent reply from the spirit. Therewere questions dealing with affairsof the fumily, those dealing with certain members of the family, etc. Thespirit replied to ull of thetiv iu auintellgent manner. Thc spirit statedthat one member or the family whowas vi- Irini;.there from another state,hud not better go home, for if hedid. he would bc hilled.Of course all of tho family becameterribly frightened, and could notaccount for the voice? from the emptyspace. Other members or the familytried to converse with lt, but thospirit would not pay any attention lothem.The story of thc occurrence becamecirculated around the neighborhooduud the next night there were severalof the neighbors present. The spirit was in one of the rooms on thc nextnight and contained, to talk, to thelittle girl. It laffin first attracted herattention by knocking on tba wall.' The next/night ; lhere was-** a/illlarger crowd present, and lt hus '-onlinucd this way until now it ls saidseveral score of people flock to thehouse every night. The house hasbeen thoroughly searched and theceiling hus been 'removed, but'nothingunusual has been found. Tho fumily is worried almost to death andstute that they ''will leave the; house.The a?>? rit hau ??ld that if they'do,it will not make any dUTer/mce fpr bcwill go with them.The above Is the story us it ha's beentold. Various visitors to the cityfrom Iva and ' iStarr have related itand suy that hundreds of people goto the haunted house every night.They claim that others besides the little girl can hear the voice, but cannot understand all timi is said. Thor,are vory much concerned as to whatthe .'volc?" la und many ot them appear both worried und extremnlyamused.There was much hilarity, in Anderson yesterday, aff^/uoon lifter theresults of tho .election became known.Many of those , who had supportedMayor Godfrey got in automobiles,rode around town, yelled, sang andcelebrated in general. The fire bellwaa rung several -times and the people of the city made sure that therewas a fire somewhere. Last nightMayor Godfrey'^wsa^ serenaded,, bressbands, bells, tin ,'r?na, automobilehorns etc., being used with great effect. It seems that oorno of the peoplereally "celebrated" and kept it upuntil a late hour last night. Policeheadquarter* reported last night atll o'clock that there had not been asinglo arrest made, during the day.Judging from indications laBt night,tho rain has passed for tho present.Thero was n stiff cool breeze-'.blowing and the sky was clear, not acloud being seen. .'Early yesterdayafternoon some sections of tho county wore viBlt9d by refreshing showers, none ot them very heavy. Itrained rather heavy at the Gluck milland on up as far as the Orr milt, butonly sprinkled in Anderson.PRETTY G??U?V?OT?^BEFORE GREENVILLE COURT(CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.)w|fe for tho custody-of their two. children and said dying declaration inthat instanco was not admitted.
